JOHN F. KENNEDY:
Many years ago...
:00:40
the great British explorer
George Mallory...
:00:43
who was to die
on Mount Everest...
:00:46
was asked
why did he want to climb it.
:00:48
He said, "Because it is there."
:00:50
Well, space is there,
and we're going to climb it.
:00:53
And the moon
and the planets are there.
:00:55
And new hopes for knowledge
and peace are there.
:00:58
And, therefore,
as we set sail...
:01:01
we ask God's blessing...
:01:03
on the most hazardous
and dangerous...
:01:05
and greatest adventure
on which man has ever embarked.
:01:08
Thank you.
:01:10
[Applause]

MAN: I hereby declare
this new world...
:01:38

REPORTER: With the charting of
the fourth pulsar this year...
:01:44
the Pilgrim explorers are
becoming a discussion point.
:01:46
MAN: We are gathered here
to celebrate Dr. Peter Anthony.
:01:50
His invention of the Navcom A.I.
:01:52
is possibly the most important
development in space travel...
:01:56
of the last century.
:01:57
Finally, we can navigate
almost any jump...
